dead pixels problem

[troyounces]

Hello,

I am curious to see how many people have had problems with dead pixels on bmw displays. My air conditioning control unit has several dead pixels, and now the radio head unit is starting as well.

I have contacted BMW canada, and they are refusing to do anything since my x5 is not under warranty - it's a 2001. I do not want to pay $960+tax to replace the unit only to have it happen again. Does anybody know who manufactures these lcd panels?

I'm wondering if anybody has had similar issues and how they resolved them.
